Read our privacy policy An American woman was found dead in South Africa after she went missing while hiking Table Mountain in Cape Town, authorities confirmed on Monday. Her friends became worried when a tracking app she’d used to update them suddenly stopped working, said SANParks, authorities for Table Mountain National Park. After two extensive searches involving SANParks rangers, Wilderness Search and Rescue, and trail runners, Cheuvront’s body was eventually found by Cape Town aircraft “on the slopes of the mountain.” Authorities said her cause of death remains unclear as it’s still being investigated. In her LinkedIn profile, she wrote that the program focused on: “Empowering young South African boys from communities suffering from gang violence in the ¡Ntsika y Themba program to challenge gender-based violence and toxic masculinity.” South African authorities offered their condolences to the family and thanked staff and stakeholders who played a part in the operation to locate her.
